ORION TRANSDERMAL PATCHES
Transdermal cannabis patches are a unique method of cannabis consumption. A patch with a special adhesive is applied to a veinous area of the body, and the cannabinoids (cannabis chemical compounds) enter the bloodstream for an effective and long-lasting response. They can be used for pain and sleep management amongst other medical benefits. Transdermal applications are an alternative option for users who do not want or cannot, consume cannabis by inhaling or ingesting the medication.
0 5 | O R I O N N U T R A C E U T I C A L S | I N V E S T O R P R E S E N T A T I O N
Orion will work to develop transdermal patches, with formulations including CBD, THC, THC-A, CBG, CBN, and / or other desired blends of cannabinoids. Orion's transdermal patches and topical gels are advisable solutions for the following conditions:
Fibromyalgia Peripheral Neuropathic PainParkinson's DiseaseSchizophreniaAutismPost-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)Epilepsy (99% CBD formulation)Multiple SclerosisDravet Syndrome
ADVANTAGESMore uniform plasma levels as delivery are controlled
through the skin and into circulation
Simple removal of the patch can reverse any potential
adverse side effects, allowing for a more controlled and
comfortable experience
No "peaks" and valleys" as seen with oral administration
(inhaling or ingesting cannabis)
A non-invasive method of cannabis consumption
Avoids first-pass effects with increased bioavailability
Improved patient compliance due to the reduced
dosing frequency
Reduced side effects due to the reduction of peaks in
plasma levels
